Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella expects Mohamed Salah to stay.

Salah is on-loan from Chelsea.

Montella said: "Salah deserves all the credit for this great impact on Serie A. I don't know the details of how we can buy him permanently, but I do know there's another year on loan and then we'll see.

"The club has to ultimately evaluate the financial issues, but the important thing is that he's going to be here with us next year.

"I knew his quality, but admittedly I did not expect Salah to adapt so quickly to Serie A. He has scored important and decisive goals against big clubs."
